Guild Wars 2

holy crap! its been happening to me but it was always when I used RTL into large groups so I just assumed I was hit by an enemy skill that immobilized me. RTL could be the most fun skill in the game but its so borked it makes it nothing more than an annoyance & a death trap

used RTL 3 times so far tonight & all 3 times I went absolutely nowhere, just a dead stop…
broken kitten skill. Love this class but what a joke, these bugs are killing my enjoyment of it.

i havent seen that many bots since Chinese Aion. Holy cow would I love to equip a staff on my ele & just go to town. Exotic badge weapons in 20 mins or less, lol.

even without the off peak hour guilds doing WvW SBI is certainly in better shape this week than last. I guess most of the server stopped caring about T1 because que times were instant even during prime time but now I’ve got anywhere from a 15min que to a 45min one.

SBI is the server to be on, we’ve got good players, good guilds & we coordinate together like nobody’s business. Most of all, we have respect for each other & our opponents.

Feels good to be a Stormbluff ruffian!

I’m sorry to see TA go to be honest, mostly Condemned. I really like those guys & would have loved to have had more battles with them in the future. They have similar ideals as Vendetta & we’ve played with them before in a couple other games & they’re genuinely good people as well as good players.

I won’t lie though, its been a huge pain in the kitten trying to get anywhere in WvW against TA. Bust our butts during prime time securing our own corner of the map & maybe a keep or garrison only to wake up the next day & find us completely wiped off that same map. I can’t hate on them for it as they were playing the game the best way they knew how within the limits & rules Anet laid out.

It will be exciting to see what the future holds for HoD & the Tier 1 bracket. I sincerely hope all the guilds from TA are in it for the long haul because I’m eager to get into some more heated battles with those guilds.

its definitely pretty buggy. When it works its a blast in WvW with the right group. Other times I pop it & I just stand in place with the graphic animation going off or it will b-line me straight to some random area instead of my intended target. Pretty frustrating & can usually mean the difference between life & death.

I prefer D/D over staff any day in WvW. I do switch when apllicable, such as taking care of defenders on a keep wall but D/D is by far superior imo. You need a solid group for it though, using D/D with a group of pugs will only get you killed & extremely frustrated.

Flank around the side of a large group of enemies, pop Arcane Shield or that Stoneform(cant remember the name but makes you immune to most CC for 8 secs & you take 33% less dmg), target a backline enemy & use Ride The Lightning to attack them, then use Arcane Blast & Arcane Wave then Updraft. At this point you’re likely taking damage so pop Mist Form & gtfo. If you’re really ballsy you can use you invulnerable state to go deeper into their back lines where you’ll hit either Earthquake & then Churning Earth(providing your team is right alongside you) or Ring Of Fire & basically every other fire ability.

You’re likely to kill several enemies or at least severely damage a lot of them. The main reason I do this though is to crush their morale. Once you get to the backlines of an enemy force most of them scatter like headless chickens & basically get disoriented & that’s really where the power of WvW lies, pyscological warfare.

coming from their citadel. there was 2 more trebs put up shortly after just to the right, also in their citadel
